Milan defeated Pisa 2-1 in the match played this Friday at the Garibaldi Arena, for the 24th round of Serie A, the top tier of Italian football. According to the Argentine News Agency, the goals for the 'Rossoneri' were scored by midfielders Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Luka Modrič, while the local team's equalizer came from the first European goal of Independiente player, Felipe Loyola. Additionally, the visiting team finished the match with a man less due to the expulsion of midfielder Adrien Rabiot in stoppage time of the second half. With the victory, the 'Rossoneri' team remains in second place with 53 points, five behind Inter, while Pisa is second to last with 15 units, six points away from escaping the relegation zone. The first goal of the match came in the 28th minute of the first half, with a cross from the right by full-back Zachary Athekame to the near post, for the headed goal by Loftus-Cheek. The visitors missed a clear chance to extend the lead in the 10th minute of the second half, with a penalty wasted by striker Niclas Fullkrug, which hit the right post of the opposing goalkeeper. The equalizer came in the 25th minute of the second half, when Loyola took advantage of a rebound in the area after a corner kick and shot with his right foot from the left side of the large area, beating goalkeeper Mike Maignan. The goal that sealed the victory for the team coached by Massimiliano Allegri was scored by the indefatigable Luka Modrič, who at 40 years old played a one-two with midfielder Samuele Ricci, received the return inside the area and finished off the goalkeeper Nicolas Andrade's charge. In stoppage time of the second half, exaggerated appeals from midfielder Adrien Rabiot earned him a second yellow card, which made him get sent off.
